  • Compatible with engine codes: ABB, ABM, ADP, PP, RN, 9A, KR, PL, 3A, AFB, AGU, AEB, ANB, APH, APU, ARZ, AVC, AWC, ARX, AUM, AUQ, AWM, AWP, AWT, AWU, AWV, BBU, BJX, BKF, BKV, BLZ
  • Requires applications with 1.5mm oil hole only
  • STDX size = Standard crankshaft diameter with +0.001" extra oil clearance
  • Designed for use with forged steel aftermarket crankshafts; verify crankshaft compatibility before installation

Features

  • pMax Black tri-metal construction delivers 24% stronger overlay hardness compared to conventional race bearings (14.5 HV vs. 11.5 HV)
  • Exceptional fatigue resistance achieved through a proprietary black hardening shield applied to the overlay layer
  • Load capacity of 17,000 psi in the intermediate layer and 10,200 psi in the overlay for extreme performance applications
  • Industry-leading wall thickness tolerance of ±0.0001" - up to 2.5x tighter than competitor standards
  • Narrowed profile on the crank cheek side with increased crush height for improved bearing-to-bore contact and reduced spin potential at high RPM
  • SecureBond adhesion process provides superior layer stability and durability under sustained high-load conditions
  • One-set fitment design - no need to purchase multiple sets to achieve desired oil clearance

Product Description

The King CR4104XP STDX is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set engineered for Audi and Volkswagen 4-cylinder engines spanning 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L displacements. Built with King's exclusive pMax Black tri-metal technology, these bearings deliver a 24% harder overlay than conventional race bearings and load capacity up to 17,000 psi - making them the go-to choice for turbocharged, high-compression, or forced-induction builds running forged steel crankshafts.

The STDX sizing designation means standard crankshaft diameter with +0.001" extra oil clearance, ideal for builders targeting slightly looser clearance specs for performance or high-heat applications. With wall thickness held to a remarkable ±0.0001" tolerance, these bearings offer unmatched consistency from shell to shell, minimizing the need for selective fitting and simplifying assembly. They are compatible with a wide range of Audi and VW engine codes including 9A, ABA, AEB, AGU, AWP, and many more, making them a reliable upgrade for both daily-driven builds and dedicated track cars.
